If an applicant completed a CCAP provider orientation and is applying as a different provider type, they need to complete the orientation for the new provider type.

There are three (3) different CCAP Provider orientations available online: Approved Relative Provider Orientation; In-home Provider Orientation; and Licensed, Certified and Accredited Provider Orientation.

The facility owner or Administrator of a licensed, certified or accredited provider must complete the orientation. The provider/owner for an Approved Relative provider must completethe orientation. The parent of a family using an In-home caregiver and their caregiver must both complete an orientation. If the family changes In-home caregivers, the new caregiver only must complete the orientation before they can be approved.

At the time of receipt of an application, applicants are advised of the requirement to complete the applicable orientation based on the type of provider application received, and given the website, user name and password information.

The goal of the provider orientation is to ensure:
